Alan Simon (East Enders) - Len Harker

Len Harker was a man who unknowingly helped Shirley Carter and Heather Trott to steal a car that Pat Evans borrowed from Kevin Wicks. As Shirley and Heather drove away to Brighton, Pat came out from the service station and called out that it was her car, but she slipped and broke her shoe. Len mended her broken shoe, and then offered her a lift to Worthing, where she had been heading for. After Pat accepted, he drove her to a run-down mental facility where Pat's long-lost sister Joan had been sent sixty years previously. After being refused entry, he helped Pat to break in, where they discovered that Joan hadn't died aged 22 as Pat had been told, but had been sent to a different hospital in the 1980s. However, while running from the police, he dropped the paper which revealed which hospital she had been sent to, but he searched the Internet and found the location. He took Pat there, where they discovered that Joan had only died a few years ago, and that she had married in 1963. He took Pat back to Walford, where he said goodbye to her, giving her his card, looked around, and then drove away.

He wasn't heard of again until Christmas Eve 2007, when it was shown through a montage of Yolande carol singing that Pat had received a rocking horse and a card from Len.
